Blood Solace

Easily a 5-star read. I loved this book. I understand how the separation of Lio and Cassia and their longing for each other could tire other readers because it is a good chunk of the book that they are separated. But I loved it so much– there was so much character development for Lio and even for Cassia. I adored Xandra calling Lio out on his shenanigans. Someone had to and I think that'll only strengthen his relationship with Cassia as he takes Xandra's words to heart. And then once they were reunited.... ahhhhhh so good. And that ending though!!!! So so good.
